Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp dried tulsi holy basil
  • 2 tbsp dried lemon balm
  • 2 tbsp dried chamomile flowers
  • 1 tbsp dried rose petals
  • 1 tsp dried lavender go light
  • 4 strips dried orange peel optional

Equipment

  • 1 Glass jar with a lid
  • 1 Mug or small teapot
  • 1 Saucer to cover the cup
  • 1 Small strainer

Method
 

  1. Combine the dried herbs in a clean, dry jar and shake gently to mix. Keep it sealed and within reach of the stove.
  2. For one cup, spoon a heaping teaspoon of the blend into a mug or small pot.
  3. Pour over water that is just off the boil, about 250 ml.
  4. Cover with a saucer and steep 5 to 7 minutes. Covering keeps the gentle oils in the cup.
  5. Strain, sweeten with a little honey if you like, and sit with it while it is warm.

Notes

Lavender is assertive, so keep it to a whisper; otherwise, it will take over the whole jar. This is comfort, not medicine. The covering and the waiting are not extra steps; they are the whole point.
